Madrid, said he will not reopen the business until he's finished
talking to his lawyers about how he should operate the business after it was accused of allowing too much nudity.

Houston County Sheriff's detectives arrested 2 people last weekend
at the business after a two-day investigation, the Dothan Eagle reported. Deputies arrested
Michael Gene Cox, 39, of Lynn Haven, Fla., and charged him with a
felony crime of allowing too much nudity -- defined as nudity above the waist -- at the nightclub.Investigators also arrested Cynthia Best, 33, of
Cottondale, Fla., a dancer at the club, on a felony cocaine possession
charge.

Nelson said he shares
ownership of the business with Cox and that Best will no longer work for the club "because we don't believe in
drugs, and that type of environment."

Houston County Sheriff's Capt. Antonio Gonzalez told the Dothan Eagle that investigators did not see alcohol for sale at the
business, and that it did not have a liquor license to sell it. But he
did say they saw alcohol on the premises. Houston County Commission
Chairman Mark Culver said county law forbids alcohol at the business or
within 500 feet of the business.

Nelson declined to talk about whether people have been allowed to
bring in their own alcohol through the first few weeks of operation.

"I personally think they're on a witch hunt because of Country
Crossings and where I'm located," Nelson told the Eagle. "The only thing that I
want to do is make money, give people some jobs and generate some tax
revenue for Houston County. Having eight to 10 deputies inside Secrets
was a waste of taxpayer money in my opinion."

The club is located a short distance down U.S. 231 from Country
Crossing, a country music themed attraction which is set to open Dec. 1.
